Concept & Inspiration

Frați (“Brothers”) is a wine born from the idea of unity — a tribute to the bond between siblings. Castel Mimi combines Merlot and Malbec, two grape varieties with distinct personalities that complement each other perfectly, just like the intertwined geometric symbols featured on the label.
Selected grapes from the Speia micro-zone in the Codru wine region are used to create a red blend with depth, harmony, and character.

Aroma Profile

The bouquet is vivid and expressive:

• dried plums

• warm spices

• subtle hints of sour cherry and raspberry

• delicate notes of chocolate

These layers blend seamlessly, offering a rich and inviting aromatic profile.

Taste & Texture

On the palate, Frați is full-bodied, with spicy tannins that bring structure and personality. The texture is round and smooth, while the lively fruit character brings freshness and balance.
The long fruity finish invites another sip and enhances the wine’s charm.

Food Pairing

Frați pairs beautifully with:

• roasted turkey dishes

• oven-baked duck

• spiced poultry

• grilled meat with aromatic seasoning

Symbol Interpretation

The two rhombuses on the label represent two entities with a shared origin and direction — a symbol of coexistence, support, and unity. Together, they form a stronger whole, just as Merlot and Malbec do in this blend.

Heritage

Castel Mimi, founded by the visionary Constantin Mimi, played a crucial role in modernizing Moldovan winemaking. His legacy continues today in wines like Frați, which blend tradition, craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism into a sophisticated and expressive wine experience.
